Frequently asked questions
Why would anyone build a factory block this close to the water?
Because the water was the point. These terraces were built to the ponds that powered the works, so the masonry sits exactly where the head was, with no damp-proofing at all. What was an asset then is the problem now.
The mill ponds look ornamental. What did they leave under the blocks?
A table and a path. The ponds were power. Filling the races and dressing the banks did not erase the water they still hold. A cellar on that terrace can wet from the side on a June week with no overbank, because the industrial hydrology is still the neighborhood's hydrology.
The house is on the outwash plain, not at the Cascades. Why would the drop still matter?
The drop sets where the headwaters cannot fall. Outwash over clay then moves the extra sideways. A house away from the spray can still sit in the same perched table. The Cascades are the outlet story; the plain is the storage story. June loads both.
